Chapter 1276: Chapter 481: The Seventh Incense Stick (Part 3)

Qing Yangyu spoke.

Mr. Yan hung his head low and said, "Palace Master, please forgive me, I truly am..."

"At critical moments, you always drop the ball."

Qing Yangyu was helpless, and could only wave the palace lantern, connecting with the Tiancan Monk and the Eternal Life Sect Leader in Mingjiang Prefecture.

"Little Changsheng, in Mingjiang Village, how did Zhou Xuan cut down the doctor?"

Qing Yangyu asked.

"This... this..."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader couldn’t answer. Before Zhou Xuan used the "Human World Play God," he and the Tiancan Monk were trapped inside the "Tree House," and knew nothing of what happened outside.

By this time, the stage had already been taken down and the people of Mingjiang Prefecture had woken up,

But these people, like those who have awoken from a long dream, perhaps experienced many strange and bizarre things in their dreams, only to remember fragments upon waking.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader dared not not answer, so he carefully listened to what the surrounding people were discussing.

"That big master’s single cut was truly formidable, slicing even that so-called Heavenly God to scattered Dao."

"That blade that cut through the stars, even I had to avoid its edge."

"Oh, have some shame, will you?"

The common folks were all smiles, discussing the might of that strike, and they only remembered the glory of that cut.

Having listened, the Eternal Life Sect Leader carefully replied to Qing Yangyu, "Palace Master, Zhou Xuan sliced the Heavenly God with a single cut."

As someone who ascended from the land of Jing Country to the Heavenly Dome, the Eternal Life Sect Leader still habitually called the "Heavenly God" as Heavenly God, not the doctor.

"Didn’t use any other techniques?"

"It seems there might have been."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader continued listening.

Qing Yangyu felt his heart leap to his throat. He quite liked the Human World Pill Official, Zhou Xuan, but liking is one thing, appreciation another; if he found out that Zhou Xuan had used the "Human World Play God" technique, he would have to cut Zhou Xuan down.

"What technique?"

"Gorge True Scripture, Zhou Xuan borrowed the power of the entire city, then wielded that blade to slice the Heavenly God."

Not knowing what happened, the Eternal Life Sect Leader simply repeated what the people were saying.

Only then did Qing Yangyu nod and say, "As long as that technique wasn’t used, this Pill Official is still a good Pill Official."

"Palace Master, which technique are you referring to?"

"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t."

Qing Yangyu cut the connection, feeling overjoyed, grabbed a fat bug from the wooden bucket beside him, and chewed it, juice splattering, saying, "Today we hit it big. It’s one thing for the Heavenly Dome to recruit a good Pill Official, but to also have one doctor cut down."

"Those doctors were so detestable, but Zhou Xuan cutting down one did a great service for the Heavenly Dome, a great service indeed."

...

In Mingjiang Prefecture, at Xie Family’s Cave,

after the stage was removed, the common people began to awaken in waves, initially merely discussing how sharp Zhou Xuan’s blade was,

but gradually, one after another, they lifted their heads, their lips curling into arcs.

"They’ve returned, all returned."

Zhou Xuan had already finished burning incense, and he crashed the Wish Power into the Yunzhong Prefecture City.

In Mingjiang Prefecture, a new round of reconstruction began,

those who died in the great disaster and calamity from Mingjiang were hooked by the threads of Yunzhong Prefecture City, descending slowly to various areas of Mingjiang Prefecture like stars filling the sky,

besides bringing down the dead of Mingjiang, Yunzhong Prefecture City also unleashed a torrential rain,

those raindrops upon hitting the ground became bricks, reconstructing the buildings of Mingjiang Prefecture one after another.

Bailomen Nightclub, Mingjiang Tower, Binjiang Building, Shande Hospital... these destroyed in the disaster, grew from the ruins like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Zhou Xuan waved to Li Changxun.

Li Changxun, being extremely sensible, raised a gust of wind carrying Zhou Xuan a hundred zhang into the air.

Standing high and looking, Zhou Xuan saw Mingjiang Prefecture, vivid and colorful again, with its neon lights charmingly elegant.

"This is the Ye Ming River I remember,"

Zhou Xuan said, satisfied.

And all the people of Mingjiang Prefecture raised their hands high, looking up at Zhou Xuan, chanting "Big Master."

Zhou Xuan above, the people below, just like believers worshipping their deity.

"Folks, Mingjiang is rebuilding with an extremely rapid momentum, Ye Ming River has returned, your families have returned too, disperse and go see your loved ones, and feel Mingjiang Prefecture at the break of dawn."

"Tonight belongs to Ye Ming River."

"Long live the Big Master."

"Mingjiang Prefecture, thank you Big Master."

After a thousand thanks, they reluctantly left, each returning home,

and the once crowded Xie Family’s Cave returned to its usual desolation.

The ones left were Zhou Xuan’s old friends.

The painter, music master, and others couldn’t contain their excitement when Zhou Xuan descended, clasping his hand, thanking him: "Big Master, Mingjiang Prefecture is fortunate to have you."

"Big Master, from now on, with your word, the God Traveling Department in Mingjiang Prefecture will always take your orders."

The painter and music master thanked Zhou Xuan until goosebumps arose.

He shook his hand vigorously, saying: "Enough with the thank-yous, let’s finish up so everyone can go home, I’m so tired I could fall asleep."

The painter and music master: "..."

Zhou Xuan, from personal experience, verified that even the sincerest gratitude and admiration can be annoying if too much is heard.

He just wanted to do the second big thing tonight—Alchemy, exchanging with Heaven and Earth, to bring "Mu Hua" home.

The sooner it’s done, the sooner we disband and go home for a rest.

To perform Alchemy, he needed the help of the Fox Clan, he glanced around and saw Sister Cui, but did not see King Xishan.

"Where’s Lao Xi?"

Zhou Xuan asked.

The painter looked back and indeed didn’t see King Xishan anywhere.

"Maybe Lao Xi went to visit his Fox Clan?" The painter scratched his head, saying.

Among the deceased of Mingjiang Prefecture, there were many from the Fox Clan. With the Prefecture City rebuilt, those fox sons and grandsons of King Xishan also returned.

"Give him half an hour to catch up, after the time’s up, call him back." Zhou Xuan took out his pocket watch, saying.

"Oh, Young Master Zhou from Mingjiang Prefecture, is so precise in his actions now?"

The incense fire Taoist emerged from the void.

Zhou Xuan recognized the voice and knew who it was, and although he was aware that this was indeed the incense fire Taoist, he feigned anger, turned around, and said indignantly: "You still dare to come back, want me to cut you again?"

"Ah?!" The incense fire Taoist was a bit stunned.

He saw Li Changxun, Yun Ziliang, the painter... all showing their weapons, prepared to meet him.

"What kind of play is this? What crime has an old man like me committed, to warrant such hostility?"

The incense fire Taoist said, spreading his hands...

...

At the cave bottom of Xie Family’s Cave, King Xishan sat in the cavity, accompanied by Fox Chou’er and Fox Shu’er.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader and the Tiancan Monk entered the cave, saluting King Xishan.

"King Xishan, congratulations, congratulations, recently you received an imperial commission, establishing a Tangkou Hu Sect, and you’ve become God-level of the Heavenly Vault." The Tiancan Monk pressed his hands together, uncharacteristically gentle.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader feigned warmth: "Lao Xi, from now on, we’re colleagues."

King Xishan nodded slightly to the two God-level figures.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader said, "Since we’re colleagues, we should also have camaraderie. We’ve been in the human world for quite a while, truly parched and hungry, we’d like to ask you for some food."

Without concealing his desire, the Tiancan Monk reached straight for Fox Chou’er: "This fox is excellent, very spiritual, very spiritual..."
